1993 Peugeot 405 GL review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear brake piston leaks.
Weak rear suspension.
Squeaky suspension.
Differential disintegration.
Mileometer jams up.
Radio cassette player flap is loose.
Strange rapid battery drainage if you are listening to the radio without the engine on!
General comments?
Despite the above, a lovely car to drive. At the moment, despite a 3000 mile fault free drive across Europe, I don't feel I can trust it due to the recently failed diff'. I would like to buy one of the later models with Air Conditioning but I am a little concerned about the A/C reliability.
